Jimmyg I'm still learning this little toy. First - yes it's reliable, I've tested in my home more then a few times and it works every time. Even though I say phone below, I've tested on my iPhone 5s and Galaxy Tab 4 tablet, 7 inch. If, for example, attached to your keys, you can set the...

Imagine you go to sleep and someone sneaks into your camp in the wee hours to grab your solar panel, your grill or maybe your pull vehicle if you in a trailer. But as soon as they start to walk away an alarm sounds. Or you can use this on your bag at the airport when you travel. This what I...

I like ear plugs. They're small and easy to keep with you on your travels. Have you tried “white noise?” No drugs, no herbs, no preparation, and no pills. I have an app on my phone for noise. I use the white or brown noise but I can listen to a rain on a tarp, whales, the beach, a tropical...

We live in a stick and brick house. (“forgive me father for I have sinned ...” :P ) And where we live has deregulated electricity. The house we moved into, for the first three months we get a teaser rate from a renewable energy company. Now that the three month teaser is over, the rate will...

Martin, just spent the last forty minutes looking at your $800 conversion page and clicking on all the links. Nice! But - now I have to take a whole lot of new notes to myself :~) ... thanks! Lots of good info.

I ran Ubuntu 32bit operating system on an old Windows XP laptop unit it died. Then I went and purchased a brand new HP laptop at WalMart for $200. The first day I deleted Windows 8.1 and installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit operating system. I don't miss Windows one bit (or 64 bit :~) I can open...

I had heard of FreedomPop before but had forgotten about the company. Thanks for bring it up, I've added it to my notes.

I'm not sure it has an advantage gypsychic, maybe trade-offs. A Coroplast shelter might hold up better in the wind if tied down the same as a tent and may offer better insulation. It's made like corrugated cardboard accept out of plastic, so it traps a tiny space of air between the two sides...

I know some of you have talked about having a backup shelter when a van goes in for repairs (if you can't stay in your van) and others have talked about shelters for a bicycle trailer. This is another "Coroplast" shelter. The difference is, it was made so it folds up...
